Margaret Heckel

Topics

Expert in demographic change

Whether on talk shows like "Günther Jauch" or on the rostrum: The demographics expert Margaret Heckel is a "rousing speaker: outspoken, practical and personally charming" (Karin Haist, Körber -Stiftung ). The hallmark of the journalist and economist is an extensive knowledge base coupled with rigorous research: "The practical examples of successful operating companies have enriched the lecture and made it particularly interesting" (Diedrich Kück , Oldenburgische Landesbank).

Heckel is the bestselling author of "So ruled the Chancellor." In the report on Angela Merkel, Heckel processed years of experience as a political and economic journalist, most recently as politics editor of "Welt", "Welt am Sonntag" and "Financial Times Germany". Since 2009, Heckel focuses on solutions for demographic change. In 2012 she published "The Midlife-Boomers: Why it's never been more exciting to be older", followed a year later by "Benefit from experience: How older workers renew the world of work."

Both books were very well received and won Heckel a growing number of speaking engagements besides being called up as expert on demographics in German TV and media.
